Mr. W. W. Clement, Principal North Africa with the later invasion of Italy and the ignominious eclipse of Mussolini. As juniors you saw America's growing might in the Pacific working far ahead toward Japan, the gradual pushing back of the Germans by the Russians, and finished the year with a paean of praise for General Eisenhower and his heroic millions on D-Day. And now as seniors you are privileged to plan with certainty for victory and the reconstruction. VE-Day will come before commencement. Throughout this experience it has been yours to do your share toward serving your country on the home front. War work has been your daily job: service in salvage drives, in the issuance of ration books, in Red Cross work, in war loan campaigns and weekly purchase of bonds and stamps, in jobs in commerce and industry to relieve the manpower shortage, even in the contribution of many of your own number to the armed forces. Your daily life at school has been definitely adjusted to winning the war. Your courses have been redesigned to fit the needs of war conditions and the solving of post-war problems. Do Dke CLii Of 1945 The Class of '45 has had a unique history. As freshmen you shared the Nation's horror and anger when Pearl Harbor was bombed, and thrilled to the wave of patriotic fervor which brought immediate declarations of war against the perpetrators of the outrage and their companions in crime against humanity. You followed with mounting concern the spread of Japanese conquest through the Pacific islands and the Asiatic mainland and the continued progress of German ruthlessness throughout Europe and North Africa. As sophomores you witnessed the stemming of the tide at Stalingrad and El Alamein and the arrival of the Americans and British in And what has been the net effect upon you, the Class of '45? I confidently believe you have come through this rigorous experience better fitted for the life ahead than have those who knew the quieter years. You have learned to accept responsibility and to bear up under stress. You have come to know the value of preparation and perseverance. Nor have you lost appreciation for the finer things of life nor reverence for things spiritual. It has been a privilege to me to have been able to work with you through the last three years of this high school life of yours. Faithfully, W. W. Clement 4
